Beautiful Biomedical Images

Our buddy Alex at Neatorama linked to an amazing collection of images from The Biomedical Image Awards 2006. As the BIA website explains:

The Biomedical Image Awards 2006 is a striking display of shapes and patterns, and illustrates the microscopic structures of living organisms in a spectacular variety of ways. The winning images show a wide variety of subjects, most invisible to the naked eye, revealing new layers of complexity .
